How To Make Money On Portland Timbers

After winning the 2015 MLS Cup, Timbers came crashing back to Earth in 2016. Portland missed out on the playoffs by two agonising points, mostly due to their league’s worst defensive record, which, in the MLS, is saying a lot. Teams don’t perform extremely well on average in the MLS but Timbers were absolutely tragic on their travels.

Portland didn’t win a single game of their 17 away fixtures. They were the only team in the MLS with that dubious record. Obtaining six of 51 away points is, in all candor, disgraceful. One away win would have been enough to ensure Portland qualifed for the playoffs but it just wasn’t meant to be.

Contrastingly, Portland is almost invincible at home. They won 38 of their 46 points at Providence Park and boasted the league’s third best home record. It’s almost incomprehensible to think that a team with the third best offensive record missed the playoffs. Such was the state of their abysmal away form.

Portland were more than competent going forward, scoring 48 goals, the third most in the conference. To restore the balance, Portland’s defense let them down miserably. Portland conceded 53 goals, the most in the Western Conference. Most of those goals were conceded on the road, though.

Veer straight toward the over market as a general rule of thumb as this team is unlike most others in its conference, as they play a run-and-gun style. While fans love the abundance of goals in Timbers matches, Portland’s coaching staff must be constantly pulling out their hair.

Until Portland vastly improves their defensive record and away form, avoid backing them as future bets at all costs.

If Diego Valeri is firing on all cylinders, Portland Timbers should be looking at a playoff position. There is a lot more to this team than their talisman, but Valeri needs to perform well for Timbers to have a fighting chance.
